Self-styled Vegas pimp gets death penalty for Strip shooting that killed 3 when Maserati burst into flames

Police found no gun in the wrecked Maserati, and no bullet holes in the Range Rover. But Harris’ lawyers, Langford and Thomas Ericsson, maintained the shooting was self-defense.las vegas pimp 3

The psychiatrist, Dr. Norton Roitman, testified that if Harris was under the influence of alcohol and the club drug ecstasy, he might have also been hyper-vigilant and prone to “fight-or-flight” responses after having been wounded in a shooting in Miami in December 2014.

A firm link between Harris and Cherry was not made. But both projected online personas big on bravado and bragging about riches.

Harris, who lived in Atlanta and Miami, posted pictures of a Bentley and an Aston Martin, and mug shots from prior arrests. He was shown in a video fanning money from a house full of women who paid him, and talking about having a $1,000 bikini contest during a birthday party for himself aboard a boat on the Atlantic Ocean.

Cherry, 27, who used name Kenny Clutch during a little-noticed music video career, bragged that he paid $120,000 for the Maserati and showed scenes of hotels along the Strip in one online post titled “Stay Schemin.”

“One mistake change lives all in one night,” he rapped.

The shooting, crashes and fire happened about a block from a vehicle-to-vehicle shooting in September 1996 that left rapper Tupac Shakur dead in a luxury sedan. That shooting has never been solved.
